I will never forget that the only reason I’m standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. Stood up when it was hard. Stood up when it wasn’t popular. And because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. And then a few thousand stood up. And then a few million stood up. And standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.
BARACK OBAMA, speech, Jan. 8, 2008
“Now shut up and stand where you’re told.”
And now that you’re standing, bread lines are to the left, unemployment lines are to the right, and free phones will be given out back stage in a couple minutes.
*unless you’re some kind of thieving libertarian, in which case you get nothing.
